ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigated six indications of
change regarding affirmative action efforts on the
University of Texas at Austin campus since December, 1973.
These indications of change were recorded in university
personnel documents, EEO/AA Office records, and the results
of a questionnaire submitted to the faculty and
administrators of the university. The questionnaire
surveyed the attitudes of these personnel in an effort to
identify subgroups within the population holding different
attitudes toward affirmative action programs and issues.
The subgroups were categorized by sex, ethnic
identification, level of employment, and area of
employment. The results of this study indicate that change
is occurring on this campus. Increases are documented in
the hiring and advancement patterns of women and
minorities, increased monthly activity is documented by the
Affirmative Action Office, and recommendations to the
President for expanded efforts by the university to meet
executive order guidelines and to make good faith efforts
are receiving attention and support. (Author/AM)
